Energon star
| This article is about the energy-storage unit known as Energon stars or Energon chips. For the concealed faction symbols used in the Beast Wars, also known as Energon chips, see rubsign. |
Energon stars, sometimes called energon chips, are produced by the Omnicons and Terrorcons. They are useful for the storage of mined energon in a compact, more stable form, and can also be attached directly to Transformers' bodies and used as short-lived power booster cells. In addition, the Transformer to which the Star is attached can pull an Energon weapon out of the Star if he so wishes (this aspect of the Stars is usually only seen among the Autobots).
Energon stars are vaguely round, flattened bodies with protrusions that form a rough star-shape. They are transparent red or green, because it looks like delicious candy. Those produced by the Terrorcons are green, but the Omnicons' products are red, because the good guys get the yummy red ones. Energon stars produced by using Super Energon are transparent blue and are used by the combiners: Superion Maximus, Constructicon Maximus, and Bruticus Maximus.

Ironhide's energon star began to run out during his encounter with the Terrorcons, but he survived until Optimus Prime's team arrived to back him up. It was also discovered that Terrorcons feed on energon stars. Energon Stars Kicker used energon stars to try to lure the Terrorcons out of the comets, but they were badly damaged so they couldn't fly. Rodimus's pet Terrorcons later ate up an energon star.

Energon chips were apparently used as a type of currency amongst Transformers. The bounty hunter Lockdown was paid in them. Lockdown's Battle Bio

Energon stars were used as a form of currency for Cybertronians, alongside Cyber Planet Keys and coins. Cannonball paid Flamewar a substantial sum with these items in order to have her join his Star Seekers on an energy raid. Hoist the Flag

Energon
Energon stars get plugged into the Transformer's spark crystal. Unlike Mini-Cons or Cyber Keys, they don't activate any gimmicks, they simply look pretty.
